They definitely have to deal with the Ebola, so I am sure that helps a little with taking things seriously and having systems in place, or at least that mindset.

They also have a pretty young population.

Plus Lassa fever and others, and also, a margin for error approaching zero.

I read a recent thread by a dude who got covid and wow.

Has it not occurred to folks that getting other people sick might be an actionable item in a court of law?

If you post hot-headed stuff on Nextdoor and shoot the kid who was stealing stuff from your car, you'll be nailed for pre-meditation.

If you post that you ignored precautions and don't care, it's just a matter of time before the contact tracers map out the path of the virus that killed somebody. There's gonna be a reckoning and the lawyers are gonna get rich.

Let's hope it never comes to that. I also think that would be a hard thing to really prove and wouldn't really help the nation to heal.

Problem is proving who you got it from.

We've had a few 14 day sentences handed down for people doing runners from qurantine facilities.

You still have to do you 14 days in a catered 4 star hotel then you get another 14 days as a guest of her majesty in one of our fine incarceration facilities. God save the Queen!!!!

It's kinda voluntary. Don't want to do it don't come to NZ. Fairly simple.

I'm hoping it comes to that very soon. Some people cannot be made to care about the wellbeing of others or to listen to reason. But I believe a rather large percentage of those people would listen to "if your actions cause harm to someone it will cost you money or time in jail". The nation cannot heal until the rot is removed.

What they've done in the past is just cut off funding to intransigent states.

"You can do what you want but so can we with the funding".

So they can't make an individual state do anything but the state can't force the feds to pay for stuff either.

To avoid breaking the "no politics" rule, let's just say that federal funding is a little more complicated over here in the USA.
